Passing on old baby clothes

I know I'm being silly but I just feel a little emotional sorting through lo's 0-3 month baby clothes! My sister is having a baby so I'm passing on some clothes but I swear every vest I pull out in I'm like 😭😭😭😭 so cute and tiny!! Doesn't help that earlier today OH (other half) and I were discussing having a second baby maybe next year rather than in a few years time, I feel so broody haha.

Are you gonna get them back? My SIL (sister-in-law) is having a baby too but I know she's the forgetting/messy type so I didn't give her any of my babies clothes because I knew I wouldn't get them back.

On the other hand, my Ellie is wearing her big cousins clothes and my sister thinks it's amazing seeing her child's clothes being worn again.

I gave my sister loads of my neutral baby stuff for he LB, which she then sent back with some other stuff she’d got for my second. It’s amazing seeing some of the stuff being used by the third baby in the family.

I got a pumpkin outfit for my eldest first Halloween, which my nephew used and hoping it’ll still fit P this year so we can have a pic of all three of them dressed as the same pumpkin ❤️

Due to space issues, I have been bagging up and donating clothes every time my LO (little one) has moved up a size. I have kept his premature baby grow (the only thing small enough to probably fit for weeks - all the other tiny baby things buried him), plus a couple of other special items inc his newborn 'born in 2018' vest. Aside from that, everything has been charity shopped on a regular basis.

My cousin is expecting a boy in November so I am now bagging up things for their boy (albeit much bigger than they'll need for a while).

Tell your sister you’re just lending her the clothes as you plan to have a second I’ve been swapping maternity and baby clothes with a friend for 3 years now as we have two children each all born a year apart.

Yeh that's the plan, saves me space too! I've lent them our next to me crib, baby bath, swing and everything. It's doing them a favour financially but it saves me trying to find somewhere to store all this stuff haha.

We have this with a gruffalo jumper, pics of my nephew and both my boys in it!

I kept my favourite 0-6 bits and they're in a box in the loft, we haven't ruled out number 3 so I've kept the bits I love. Everything after that I've either donated, sold or given away. Some of it makes me sad to part with though.

We’ve boxed and kept everything for our next one and will pass them on to anyone we know in need or charity after our second has worn them! I’m not sure how I’d feel having them back off someone else like third hand 😬 I struggled putting my LO (little one) in second hand clothes as bad as that sounds but My MIL (mother-in-law) kept bringing bags of clothes from her friends grandson that were all off colour and bobbly 😫 kinda put me off but we did have the odd bit off my friend who looked after her babies clothes - depends how much you really want it all bag and if the person will care for them as you would!
